Different Between Entity.["attributeName"] and Entity.Attributes["attributeName"]

Hi,

I have been going through some of the documentation for writing plugins in CRM and I saw that sometimes an entity's attribute is accessed with entity["attributeName"] = x ,but some other times it is accessed with entity.Attributes["attributeName"] = x. I tried to find the different between the two, but I couldn't (I'm most likely not using the good wording). Could someone explain to me the difference between the two and when I should use each one?

Thank you

Hello,

Those 2 are the same and entity["x"] is the short version of entity.Attributes["x"].
